"There, you see?" Obviously it's all up to X's timing, and not a function of Zephyr having been here almost the entire time. Really.

Then X has to go and call them friends. Zephyr sits there for several moments entirely overcome, possibly panicking, and not sure what to do with any of these emotions only that he can't let them out because then there are going to be even more awkward question. When X asks for water, Zephyr lunges up at embarrassing speeds, trips over his own chair and regains his balance.

He attempts to play it off sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "Ahaha, yeah, sure. No problem."

He may, however, take slightly longer than average about getting water, before he comes back, and this is entirely to do with calming himself down. There's no reason to panic about having friends.

None at all.
